LibreOffice Calc problem loading large files
Calc stops responding when opening ~30mb .xlsx
My task is to open the .xlsx and export it as a csv.
Is there a way (on Ubuntu) limit the number of rows that are loaded into memory?
After attempting 10 times, I got the file open, but it took 5-10 minutes minutes. The file contains ~150.000 rows and 10-20 columns each, on 5 sheets. (no images, pure text). Similar files open slowly with Calc but will eventually open.
My pc has 16BG ram and i7 cpu, so I doubt it is a hardware issue.
This problem does not happen with MS Office Excel, but Excel has other problems, so I can't use it.
Note: After opening the file, Calc uses 650mb ram, and the total capacity is at 25%.
